i kinda wish it wasn't white but in the event my pitchblack should EVER breakdown i'll snag this. however by the time that happens i think ALL guitars will be forcefully equipped with ROBOT technology by the GUVMENT

It looks like an iPod. I bought a clip digital chomatic tuner for €5 about 3 years ago, it works perfectly... please explain why this is better. I don't understand.

Noone is claiming it is any better but if you wted the video you would understand the USP.

You strum the strings and it tells you straightway which ones are out of tune and by how much. It saves time tuning.

It is a gimmick but the technology is interesting. Personally I think pedal tuners are a necessity if you intend to play gigs.

pretty much this.

after thinking about it for a day or two i don't think i really want or need one, but the fact we have the technology to do this accurately and quickly inside a pedal is rather cool.

Totally, it's cool and interesting to see things evolve, and if my tuner broke then I'd consider one, but won't be getting one especially.

for the price it's a 'gimic' i'd be stoked on.

But does the display of which strings are out of tune stay on whilst you retune one string so you don't have to restrum, or do you have to restrum, in which case I don't see any benefit?

Which dots are which strings and how would it deal with a lefty? I'd get confused if it were mapped to right handed. I'd also hope it could handle Eb tuning with this display.

Basically I'll have to wait til they get one into Guitar Center or something so I can test it out. If it works right I really would like one.

Couldn't watch the video, no youtubes at work. Blocked by websense.

£75 doesn't sound too bad. might replace my TU-2 with one of these.

I think the good thing here is that it is +/- 1 cent accurate. I think the DT10 is 5?

1 cent, according to Korg- and I'd go along with that.

I though all digital things are +/1 cent by now?

No the Boss foot one is +/- 3
Atleast according to Guitarist.

The TU-2 is +/- 3 cents, according to Boss. But yeah, it is a bit odd. Maybe just depends in the quality of the A/D conversion?
